the flooding concerns will continue for the next 36 hours, shell beach, louisiana had one of the highest peak surges at nearly 11 feet. so not only the water that is still high there, but what they're also going to be considering is another five to ten inches of rainfall in the next 36 hours. and here's the thing, this storm system looks to continue to hold on by friday, as a tropical depression over arkansas and we may even see remnants of this storm go as far north as chicago. the winds were so strong that it actually made the mississippi river flow backwards for a full 24 hours yesterday. that's power of this hurricane and mother nature. conflicting new details ona raid that killed osama bin laden. >> janell wang is in with our international headlines on this book. >> more details are emerging from the book "no easy stay". the book is a first hanged account from a u.s. navy
